the rts meeting last night clashed with the Palentinian solidarity group talk which was a pity. This site provides a way of everyone finding out what everyone else is doing and scheduling your meetings as such.

Community Exchange started in October 1999 as a monthly e-mail bulletin aiming at providing a communication channel for groups and individuals involved or interested in the work of community and voluntary organisations in Ireland.

At the time, there was no other online forum where people could find out and/or exchange information and news about the voluntary sector in Ireland and we were hoping that over time, people would find the bulletin a usefull environment for sharing information, and for actively contributing to its contents.

We have now set up a web presence for Community Exchange, where the information is updated as soon as it comes available to us and we still provide a weekly e-mail edition for subscribers who prefers to get the information delivered to their computers.

The publication now covers a wide range of topics including Job Opportunities available in the sector and Training Courses, and offers contact addresses for further information or debate.

If you have some information you would like to share with the Community Exchange network you can use the online form or send an e-mail to gian@activelink.ie.

Community Exchange is moderated by a steering group of volunteers from Combat Poverty Agency (www.cpa.ie), Models Research (www.models-research.ie), and activelink.
